Notes: In the
ninth inning of Game 6, with the score tied at three, Detroit pitcher
Tommy Bridges gave up a triple to Stan Hack. ... Bridges then locked
up the Series by retiring the next three batters in a row.

The 1935 World Series
brought new flavor to the affair. The Tigers had never won a World Championship,
while the Cubs hadn't been to the Series since 1918 and hadn't won one
since 1908.

The Series opened in Motown, but the Cubs took Game 1 behind Lon Warneke's
four-hit shutout. Chicago scored two runs in the first, all they would
need, and added another in the ninth to make the final score 3-0. The
Tigers evened things up, emphatically, with an 8-3 triumph in Game 2.
Cubs starter Charlie Root pitched to only four batters, all of whom scored,
while Tommy Bridges went the distance for Detroit.

At Wrigley Field for Game 3, the Tigers tallied four runs in the eighth
to grab a 5-3 edge. In the bottom of the ninth, though, three singles
and a sacrifice fly resulted in two Chicago runs, and the clubs moved
to extra innings. Detroit scored an unearned run off Larry French in the
top of the 11th, and in the bottom of the frame Schoolboy Rowe, who lost
Game 1 and allowed the two Cubbie runs in the ninth inning of this game,
retired three straight Chicago hitters to complete the victory.

Game 4 was a 2-1 squeaker, with Detroit's Alvin "General" Crowder topping
Chicago's Tex Carleton. Crowder, himself, scored the first Tiger run in
the third inning, and the second came as the result of two Cub errors
in the sixth.

Chuck Klein's two-run homer in the third gave the Cubs a
2-0 lead in Game 5, and they made it 3-0 in the seventh. Lon Warneke,
so solid in Game 1, was even better this time, tossing six scoreless innings
before retiring with a sore shoulder. Bill Lee finished the game with
three innings of relief, as the Cubs staved off elimination with the 3-1
decision.

Cubs second baseman Billy Herman was huge in Game 6, going 3-for-4 with
three RBI, but it wasn't quite enough. After eight innings, the contest
was tied at three. Stan Hack led off the top of the ninth
with a triple, but was stranded when Tiger starter Tommy Bridges wormed
out of the jam. And in the bottom of the ninth, Goose Goslin's two-out
single to right field plated Mickey Cochrane with the game-winning, championship-clinching
run. On their fifth try, the Tigers had finally won a World Series,
setting off a celebration in the streets of Detroit which lasted until
dawn the next day.
